| Andy Williams After Scoring Against Bury In 2006 - Andy Compton Picture |
Hereford manager Paul Caddis has said that signing Andy Williams is a 'real coup' for the Bulls.
Williams started his career with Hereford and went on to feature for several other clubs including Bristol Rovers, Yeovil, Swindon, Doncaster, Cheltenham and Walsall.
He has scored nearly 150 goals to date.
"I think the capture of Andy Williams is a real coup for our football club and I genuinely believe that the support from everyone getting behind the season ticket sales and squad builder campaign has had a big impact on getting this done," said Caddis.
"The interest levels have been absolutely mind blowing considering we are only 5 weeks post season and 9 weeks before our opening game, and Andy has been very much aware of what has been going on.
"It goes without saying that I am delighted to see ‘Willo’ return to Edgar Street, the stadium where he started out on his long and established football league career. He truly has a connection to this city.
"Willo is an ex team-mate – and opponent – so I know what makes him tick and I know what his strengths are in terms of the threat he possesses to worry opposition teams.
"He has a hunger and drive like no other and a fitness level that he takes great pride and professionalism in. I’m sure a signing of his calibre from a League Two club – when he had other more lucrative full-time deals on offer – shows the supporters we aren’t standing still as a football club. Hereford FC is not here just to take part – we are here to progress.
"Willo will bring huge experience to our group having made just short of 700 senior appearances and will bring a high standard of professionalism which will raise the bar in training and on match days. I am overjoyed at attracting someone of Willo’s qualities and characteristics and cannot wait to see him pull on the Bulls’ shirt again."
